Title: Improvements in or relating to an exothermic riser composition and method of using the same
IPC: B22D7/10
Filed: 1954-10-01
Abstract: An exothermic composition for maintaining fluid the risers of copper containing castings is characterized by a mixture of finely divided silicon or ferrosilicon containing 90 per cent or more of silicon, a normally solid oxidizing agent for the silicon such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, an alkali metal chlorate, an alkali metal perchlorate or manganese dioxide, and a fluxing agent such as mill scale or ferric oxide.  The amount of oxidizing agent should be sufficient to oxidize substantially all of the silicon and the amounts of oxidizing agent and fluxing agent should be sufficient to form a substantially neutral slag with the silica formed in the reaction, e.g. sodium-iron silicate.  Thus the mixture used may contain ferrosilicon, sodium nitrate and mill scale in such proportions as to contain 5 atoms of silicon: 4 molecules of sodium nitrate: 4 molecules of ferrosoferric oxide.

Title: Electromagnetic radiation beam generators
IPC: H01J25/78
Filed: 1969-06-05
Abstract: 1,270,287. Transit-time tubes. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 5 June, 1969 [12 June, 1968], No. 28512/69. Heading H1D. An electromagnetic radiation beam generator includes an electron gun for projecting a beam 8 of electrons across the surface of a grating structure having a large number of equi-spaced, coplanar, conductive rulings 1, 2, . . ., 5, the wavelength of the emitted radiation being a function of the velocity of the beam and of the angle with respect to the beam at which it is viewed, and further includes means for controlling the velocity of the beam, in magnitude or direction, by an input signal, and an output device responsive to a restricted wavelength or direction of the radiation, whereby the observed direction or wavelength, respectively, is a function of the input signal. In the arrangement of Fig. 2, the viewing angle # is determined by the slit 13 in the anode 12. The input signal varies the direction of the electron beam, and hence #, by means of the deflection plates 9, 10 and hence varies the frequency of the output beam 14 which passes to an amplifier 15. If beam 14 is of optical frequency, the amplifier 15 may be either a laser which is tuned to the centre frequency of the generator and which preferably dispenses with the normal feedback mirrors, to reduce switching time and permit faster modulation, or a non-linear optical medium serving as an optical mixer; for lower frequencies, the amplifier may be a wide-band parametric amplifier. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 4, the electron beam 8 is incident upon a transparent, tin-oxide-coated anode 42, and the output beam of radiation 44 is viewed through a narrow-band filter 20, which may be a tuned maser or laser additionally amplifying the transmitted spectral range, whereby the direction of the emitted beam 45 varies with the input signal. In a modificaton of this arrangement (Fig. 5, not shown), the grating rulings are arcs concentric with the electron beam source, and the concentric filter 20 is tuned to the maximum frequency of the emitted radiation, which occurs for # = 0, i.e. the beam of emitted radiation propagates along the extension of the electron beam path. In a further modification of the arrangement of Fig. 4 (Fig. 3, not shown), the input signal is employed to vary the anode voltage, and hence the velocity, of an undeflected electron beam, whereby the angle at which the emitted radiation beam issues from the filter 20 is correspondingly varied.
